Spain's only defeat against Switzerland served to win the World Cup

The only time Spain lost against Switzerland It ended up being the sweetest defeat in the history of the National Team. It was a blow, but it ended up being the greatest achievement in the history of La Roja: win the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.

The June 16, at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, in Durban. It was Spain's first match at the World Cup and the start was the least exciting possible: defeat 0-1, with a goal from Gelson Fernandes. However, that disappointment was the fuze that led the Del Bosque team to grow game by game until they achieved that historic photo of Casillas at the Soccer City stadium in Johannesburg lifting the World Cup trophy, with its five kilos of gold (the total weight of the cup is 6,142 kilos).

After losing 0-1 to Switzerland, Spain only managed victories. Against Honduras, Chile, Portugal, Paraguay, Germany and the Netherlands.

Spain have faced Switzerland 21 times. He has won 17 times, tied three and lost one.

The history of matches between both teams began on August 1, 1925 at the Neufels stadium in Bern, where rookie Juan Errazquin sealed Spain's 0-3 scoreline with a triplet. The last match was played at Alfredo di Stéfano, on October 10, in the current League of Nations. Oyarzábal signed the 1-0.
